Edge slide question.

I just tried the blender artist forum but nothing I post ever shows up... Soooo.

I put on edge slide when making a early alpha human model. But now when I try to adjust somthing by pulling it in it does nothing to the model. What am I doing wrong.

Not sure, you don't have a duplicate edge/s in pretty much the same place that is preventing it from moving do you? (and you have selected at least one edge not a single vert?)

Post a pic of you screen and maybe I or someone else can be a but more helpful :)

Hi, your problem may be to do with the mirror modifier.

You seem to have a full mesh both sides then have a mirror mod on top of that which is repeating/duplicating half of the mesh directly on top again. I can see the mesh is not right from all the light grey surrounded by a darker grey border colouring of all your faces, this is not right and will cause many issues.

Get rid of the mirror modifier. Sort your mesh out and delete everything on one side of the axis you want to mirror on. Now add a new mirror mod. Clipping can also restrict the movement of verts at the mirror axis point so watch out for this in the future also.

Let me know if this helps at all :)

OK I'll have to try that out. Being the noob I am I'll have to research how to do that so this might take me awhile but that makes sense thanks. :D

If you post a link to the file (dropbox or something similar) then I will have a quick look at it for you. Then you can compare my fixed version to yours and see easily where you went wrong.
